Downtown Ohio River Bass

[Bassky]

Fished on the Big O, in view of Great American ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium. Caught 9 bass, best 5 would go 12 lbs. Caught lm, sm, and spots. 2" shad were all over. Caught them on cb in 2-8' of water. 2 spots were 16" and bustin at the gut,
filled with shad. Had a blast. Sure wish I was in a tournament that day, Friday. Caught several whitebass too, they were small. No hybrids.

I fished the Ohio River Saturday and it seemed the spotted bass were on fire. My biggest was probably 14 inches, but they were fat and frisky. You are right about the shad. Millions of them and right on the bank too. Thanks for the report.

Wow thanks for sharing! I may have to get out there and give it a try here soon. That spotted bass is HUGE!!!

I work in nky and just took a walk for lunch down on the river. There are pods of thousands of shad along the whole shore....wish i had my rod on me hahahaha

You ought to. All the fish caught were within casting distance from the shoreline. I don't normally fish downtown like this. We had just a small window of daylight and decided to hit the downtown area. There are some very productive shoreline areas on both the Ohio and NKY side.

where is a good ramp to fish that area?

[Bassky]

Cincinnati Public Landing. It is right next to US Bank area. $5 to launch.

Sounds like an awesome day! I live in NKY, let me know if you ever need someone to balance the back of the boat for you and assist with some gas money!
